Pocono Liar founder Michael A. Ventrella’s latest nonfiction book is now available from McFarland.

Billboard magazine named The Beatles the greatest performing musical act of all time, and their albums continue to chart to this day. This is no surprise to Michael, who combed through nearly 60 years of the magazine, week by week, to compile a list of every song and album that charted. The end result is an intriguing look at the band’s influence, including their solo efforts. The author assigns points to the positions of songs and albums on the charts in order to create a list ranging from the least successful to the most successful. Each entry includes a picture of the album cover or single sleeve, along with an analysis of the song or album. Also provided are introductory chapters about the Beatles and an explanation of how the Billboard charts have been tabulated and changed over the years.

The book is available as a paperback or in kindle versions, and you can order it from the publisher, Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, or you can bug your local bookseller to get you a copy!
